[Mothership] Restaurant named LKY’s Kitchen in Shanghai opened by S’porean https://t.co/jAJtctDkUY

… And to let Chinese customers know intuitively that it is a Singaporean restaurant, he gave it a name that sounds like Singapore’s most well-known icon in China — Li Guang Yao — or the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. In English, the restaurant is called LKY’s Kitchen. “It’s very common in China to have shops and restaurants using the same sounding name as Chinese leaders, such as Wen Jiabao (China’s former premier),” said the 32-year-old who is from the IT industry. “I’m just following the Chinese way. I’ve not intended it to be disrespectful in any way”.
